Scores killed in Pakistan hospital bomb attack

The bomb exploded as mourners, mostly lawyers and journalists, gathered to accompany the body of a prominent lawyer, who was shot and killed while on his way to the main court complex earlier on Monday.

About 18 lawyers and a journalist were among the dead.

More than 100 mourners were reportedly entering the emergency department of the hospital to accompany Kasi’s body when the bomb went off.

A hospital worker told Reuters he “ was coming for my shift at the office. As soon as I reached the gate, there was a blast, and people came running out. I left my bike there, and as I entered, I saw dead bodies scattered all over the place. There was blood all over, and injured people covered in blood,” said hospital worker.
